Every now and then occurrences come along that you just have to witness and enjoy, all the better when it happens on your own "patch". For whatever reason Mediterranean gull's have decided the beach at East Wemyss is the place to be. They have been coming in smaller numbers for a few years now, ten being my best previous count. That was until tonight when there was probably a new Scottish record of fifty four. Ring recoveries show individuals coming from Poland, East and West Germany, Belgium and Holland. The young bird pictured was rung in Leipzig, East Germany on 8th June, was last seen there on the 27th June and was observed at Newbiggin, Northumberland by the 22 July and last seen on the 25th, turning up here on the 1st August until the 4th then three days later was back at Newbiggin. No Brexit fears for them!!.
